Information is the life blood of the negotiating process. To go into a
negotiation with no information is to go in blind. It is essential to
begin searching for information from the very beginning, even
before your initial contact with the other party.
There are three primary sources of information. The first is
databases. Information can be found in numerous locations such as
the Internet, D&B reports, industry magazines, newspapers, and
other related research sources.
The second source of information is third parties who may know
about or have had dealings with the people with whom you are
negotiating. Friends, acquaintances and business associates may
have some of the information that you need, or they may have
friends who could give you that information.
The third source of information is the party with whom you are
negotiating and their associates. Try to develop multiple contacts
within their organization and piece together bits of information from
all of these contacts.
While the search for information is the most intensive prior to the
beginning of the negotiation, it never stops. Additional information
can be gained across the bargaining table or between negotiating
sessions.
The search for information continues even after a negotiation is
concluded, as you implement your agreement and prepare for
future negotiations.
